Start by printing the top part of the staff on your regular piece
of A4 paper, but make it as big as it could possibly be on the A4 paper.

Now cover the entire thing with craft foam to give it a nice
clean finish

Using the remnants of the template, cut the the ankh part out of
more foamboard.

Using regular paper, fold 8 inch pieces it like so and glue them
on the main piece

Start by placing the first piece of paper on the top corner and
cut the excess off with scissors once it dries

There should be six pieces of paper all together

Make a scarab out of polymer clay or air dry clay (see tutorial
here) and glue it on the space inside the ankh, if you make it 2.5 inches long
it should fit perfectly if you made the main piece based on an A4 piece of paper

Glue the stick / broom on the main piece or tape it up if it's
too heavy

Spray paint the entire thing with gold spray paint.

And you're done! you can add extra coats of modge podge to
strengthen it, but if you did this right, the staff should be very sturdy.
